Note 103 — Chapter VIII · OTHER SPECIES OF OWLS
D. C. (Douglas Craven) Phillott translation
Murg͟h-i Ḥaqq. Ḥaqq means the “Truth” or “God.” This little owl, which is probably the Persian owlet (Athene Persica), is reverenced by Muhammadans: it clings to walls and cries “Ḥaqq, Ḥaqq,” after the manner of the dervishes.
